nomic realities as well as cultural ideals. "No one has written better
about the Roeblings. It is an engrossing narrative."-NoRMAN HOLMES

William Jennings Bryan : The L ast Decade 1915-1925
By Lawrence W. Levine, University of California, Berkeley.
"I read . .. with growing excitement and admiration-excitement from
the wealth of new material about Bryan in his later phase, and admira–
tion at the author's understanding, sympathy and objectivity. This book
will
compel a major re-evaluation of the later, tragic phase of Bryan's
career."-ARTHUR S. LINK. "This painstaking examination of Bryan's
later years will do much to correct the distortion of the man that has
come down to us. And it is a book that is long overdue."- FRANCIS
